Ending my 4 day 15th week

I survived my first short week and I liked it, although it wasn't your typical week with the 4th of july long weekend and having Monday and Tuesday off. So it was a short week all around.

Thurs. July 8 lower body. Started whole routine of lower body. I like change so it as good. Tough but good. My son drove home from Florida so back to a full house including his dog buddy. I am happy ;) The heat wave is still with us, no rain ad no break from the humidity.

Fri. July 9 Weigh in day Cardio. I didn't lose a pound on the scale but I lost fat and gained lean body mass by like 1.4 pounds.....so Jon was happy. Me, I want to see actual pounds come off. Still being large, want to get down down down!...then work on the muscle, but I know thats not how it works...Now, to be good all weekend, & get some sort of workout in before tuesday.

Keep Pluggin Along

Going into my 10th week I took my first day off, being Memorial Day, since I started. We had picnics Sat and Sun, beach on Mon, but I didn't want to to leave party early on Sun....which worked out to cause we were there til after 12 midnight. Mon we went to beach, by Tuesday I was ready to work out!

Tues June 1, Lower body. We started something new, a new machine, no squats adn lunches which I was expecting. I thought it was a good workout...not too painful. It must have used a difernt set of leg muscles cause I was Really feeling it the whole day at work, legs were realy sore.

Wed June 2. Cardio. i was really ready for cardio. I pushed myself and made it back up to 1.15 fro 1.11, a big push, bt I did it and survived...the cardio helped my sore legs.

Thurs. June 3 Upper body. Still using free weights, getting harder and harder, but its workin the arms good.

Fri. June 4 Cardio. Ready for it again, knew I may not make 1.15 but anythig more than 1.11 I was happy and I did. 1.13, more realistic, god workout! Tomorrow weigh in day. opefully those picnics didn't really screw me up last weekend! I ate good all week!

Sat June 5 lower body. Weigh in day. I lost I think a pound and 1/2 but not sure. I wanted the total weight loss and total fat lost for GOOD! So after 10 weeks I have lost 24 pounds and 16.46 pounds of that is just fat.....I would love to make 30 pds by my 12th week but we will see. Its a goal. I am down 2 sizes in clothes and feel fantastic. Well I feel fantastic but constantly sore from working out...maybe that won't go away for a while. I am planning on staying on with Horizon somehow find a way to afford at least 4 days a week. There is a guy who works out there sometimes when I am there and he has been with them for over a year and has lost over 100 pounds. I watched him do cardio today, running the whole 20 minutes...I could feel his pain but inspired to know I could someday run the whole 20 minutes. Can't imagine it right now but I am getting there. My son is coming home in July for 2 weeks and will hope he notices a difference :) http://www.horizonpt.com/
